1 - 16 . (canceled) 
   
   
       17 . A cleaning device for a support, comprising:
 a casing,   at least two cleaning-liquid spray means mounted on the casing,   means for adjusting a distance between the spray means and the support,   wherein, because the device is moved according to a cleaning direction (D), one of the cleaning-liquid spray means is offset with respect to the other in the direction of cleaning (D).   
   
   
       18 . The device of  claim 17 , further comprising at least three points of contact of the casing on the support. 
   
   
       19 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein there are four points of contact of the casing on the support. 
   
   
       20 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein said points of contact comprise wheels. 
   
   
       21 . The device of  claim 17 , further comprising articulated means on the casing suitable for receiving a means for handling the device. 
   
   
       22 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the cleaning-liquid spray means have an opening with a principal dimension on the order of 0.3 mm. 
   
   
       23 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the cleaning-liquid spray means have, during operation of the device, an acute angle of spray. 
   
   
       24 . The device of  claim 23 , wherein said angle of spray has a value of approximately 40°. 
   
   
       25 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the cleaning-liquid spray means are arranged so as to support, during operation, an allowable pressure comprised between approximately 30 bars and approximately 130 bars. 
   
   
       26 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the cleaning-liquid spray means are arranged so as to support, during operation, an allowable temperature comprised between approximately 30° C. and approximately 100° C. 
   
   
       27 . The device of  claim 26 , further comprising means for stiffening the cleaning liquid feed system, mounted on a cleaning-liquid spray means feed system behind said spray means with respect to the support. 
   
   
       28 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the cleaning-liquid spray means are high-pressure nozzles. 
   
   
       29 . The device of  claim 28 , wherein the nozzles generate a fan-shaped jet. 
   
   
       30 . The device of  claim 17 , comprising several spray means positioned so that their respective jets are juxtaposed and do not interfere with one another. 
   
   
       31 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the adjustment means comprise removable attachment means for a conduit bearing the spray means, upon the sides of the casing. 
   
   
       32 . A cleaning system for a support, comprising a pressurized cleaning-liquid feed machine including the device of  claim 17 .
